Hi everyone,
It has been 10 years since I last had a panic attack. It's easy to see imagine the difference that it made to my life following 30 years of involvement in the condition. The next few words may be controversial so could I invite a monitor from the site to make sure I'm not contravening the conditions of use. Put simply I rejected all professional advice. No more medication, no more psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors and the like. No more books on the subject including the noted ones of that era.
Put simply I shut myself away in the house with the resolve that I would never go out again. Paradoxically it was the intervention of a professional, a psychiatric social worker who in two sentences handed me the key to recovery. I have written a book on my experiences but for obvious reasons I am not about to reveal its title.
If you gain nothing from this message except perhaps some hope that you too can become well that's fine. If you are content with the treatment you are receiving then that's fine too.
Good wishes to everyone. Leonardk.
